KITTE is the first commercial facility created by Japan Post. The exterior which preserves and regenerates a portion of the former Tokyo Central Post Office, a building which typifies Showa modernist architecture, is in perfect harmony with the evocative city streets of Marunouchi.
Nippon Design Center was involved beginning from the naming phase. Through VI planning and design of the entrance sign, we gave shape to the Japan Post principles of valuing “connections” – those between person and person and those between city and city.
With consideration for the environment of the location directly in front of Tokyo Station, we searched for a sign that would be both highly original and functional.
